Poll: Windows OS Survey

[Cosimo]

So can we have a poll to see what versions of Windows people are running?

What options would you like?

Would you like multiple answers or just primary rig (I run Vista on my main rig, but XP on my secondry rig and Ubuntu on my laptop)

I think it will be best to just stick to the Operating System that your primary system is running.

Windows Vista Ultimate x86-64
Windows Vista Ultimate x86-32
Windows Vista Business x86-64
Windows Vista Business x86-32
Windows Vista Home Premium x86-64
Windows Vista Home Premium x86-32
Windows Vista Home Basic x86-64
Windows Vista Home Basic x86-32
Windows XP Professional x86-64
Windows XP Professional x86-32
Windows XP Home Edition x86-32

I don't think it's worth putting any of versions of Windows before Windows XP.

It will actually be interesting to see which version of Windows the majority of users are running.

I think 2000 is worth putting on there.

Interesting notation too, shouldn't x86-64 be x64?

Perhaps. X64 is simply what MS chooses to call it.

x86-64 is a 64-bit superset of the x86 instruction set architecture. The x86-64 instruction set natively supports Intel's x86 and was designed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), who have since renamed it AMD64. This architecture has been cloned by Intel under the name Intel 64 (formerly known as EM64T among other names).[1] This leads to the common use of the names x86-64 or x64 as more vendor-neutral terms to collectively refer to the two nearly identical implementations.

Add windows legacy to that for versions older than XP.

Furry muff, never seen it written like that before

Oh and I'm not sure if a server version should be on here really...
